2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse SPYDER GT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Was lied to before I even got the care, they told me it was brand new being brought up from Illinois, 1.5 weeks later they told me it cleared customs and was in Canada, and 4 days later I found out the car never even left the plant down there, but they had another one in Moncton that had 800 KM's on it.
The first rain storm we had I took the car out, and noticed that when I went down hill the stereo cut out, and going back up hill it came back on. Thought it was a lose wire, until I went to clean the car 3 days later. I went to remove the mats on the passenger side of the car and it was FILLED with water, there is a leak in the under part of the car, the leak fried the stereo amplifier, and all the speakers. The car has been sitting at the dealership, since Monday morning, and today is Thursday morning, they can see the water filling, but still do not know where it is coming from.
General comments?
I spent $53,000 Canadian for a car that I have been able to drive for 11 days, if the car is not ready by Thursday PM, I am going down and demand a new car, or a full refund for that one.
I should have kept my 9 year old Sebring, that was still in Mint Condition : (
